Hi. I'm Linda, a tour guide for almost 10 years now. It's a pleasure and a big responsibility to be a kind of an ambassador for your country and show to everyone who wants to visit Albania, get closer to the history, culture, nature, real Albanian everyday life. Saranda and its locals take great pride in their culture and continue to protect it and to introduce it to their visitors. Although the Albanian cuisine has been heavily influenced by the Turkish and Greek cuisine, it has managed to sustain its authenticity and put its own flare to the foreign dishes. Not just nature, cuisine, sea, beaches, but no trip to Saranda would be completely over without having tasted the night life that keeps the city alive until the morning hours. Once the sun goes down, everyone trades their bathing suits for a party attire and head to the night clubs witch stretch all over the western side of the town. So if you haven't put Saranda, in your bucket list for the places to visit yet now is the time to. Saranda and its wonders welcome you in a world of tradition and development. Prepare your self for a different type of vacation, maybe not perfect but a very interesting one, hopefully one of the best ones. - My first training course as a tour guide was in 2008 and I got my first guiding certificate from USAID. A second one in 2011 from the Albanian Ministry of Tourism and Culture. - I got my official licence in 2017. - I'm an Italian teacher from 2005 and I have been studying English since the 6th grade at school.

Overview of your Gjirokaster tour

If you like architecture, history and amassing views from the top of the castle this tour will take you back in time. A beautiful experience where you start your walk on the rocks of the Old Bazar that belongs to the Ottoman period (13th -14th century). A road that takes you inside a battle-ship-shape castle at the top of a hill, where you see and touch the iron of the I and II WW ( Museum of Guns), the legend of castle itself. I would like to walk you through the cells of the prison where you can understand, through the stories I will tell and read on the walls, the pain and sacrifices of the people of the town during the I and II WW and communist period in Albania. It is one of the richest experiences that you can find all in one.
